State’s budget gridlock could jeopardize MAP grant By Laura Katauskas | STAFF REPORTER

he state budget impasse is taking its toll on education, with college students finding vital grant money in jeopardy. Though 90 percent of the state’s spending has been accounted for thanks to recent court rulings, the state’s support for high education remains unsettled. As chairman of the Senate’s Higher Education Committee, state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, called a hearing Sept. 24 at Joliet Junior College to hear from students, parents, and state community colleges and universities about the impact the current budget impasse is having on higher education in Illinois. Many state universities and community colleges are absorbing costs upfront to allow the school year to start on time. The Senate did pass funding for the state’s financial student assistance program, the Monetary Award Program. However, the House has yet to approve the legislation. story CoNtiNues oN Page 6

Joliet mayor wants more police downtown Two patrol officers added to Joliet City Center beat By bugle staff sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk announced last week that two Joliet police officers will be assigned to foot patrols in the area of the Joliet City Center starting Sept. 27. Citing a need to increase security for downtown businesses and visitors, O’Dekirk said he frequently hears complaints from residents and visitors about not feeling safe downtown. “Joliet City Center may be one

jolet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk of the safest areas in Joliet due to the presence of the Joliet Police Headquarters, the courthouse and the sheriff’s department, but all of those uniforms on Jefferson Street can’t be seen for more than a block,” O’Dekirk said in a

statement released Friday. The Joliet mayor said revitalization of the city’s downtown depends on whether or not people feel safe, adding that he would like the area to have a security presence similar to what he’s seen on north Michigan Avenue in Chicago. “Chicago’s premier shopping district has police officers patrolling up and down Michigan Avenue on foot to deter trouble, and it works,” O’Dekirk said. “Considering the huge number of people, there are few problems on

Joliet receives USAgain award for ‘outstanding’ recycling ordinance

City recognized for improving textile recycling infrastructure Local textile recycler USAgain recently recognized the city of Joliet’s recycling efforts, awarding it its “Outstanding Ordinance to Support Recycling.” During the 2015 Green-T Award ceremony, USAgain recognized Joliet for work it has done to make the city’s textile recycling infrastructure more effective. Earlier in the year, the city passed

an ordinance that improved recycling efforts by regulating collection boxes through a permitting process. “USAgain is proud to present Joliet with ‘Outstanding Ordinance to Support Recycling,’ and we applaud the city for adopting this ordinance and creating a process that holds recycling to the highest of standards,” USAgain CEO

Mattias Wallander said in a news release. The Green-T Award ceremony was held at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. The awards recognize individuals or organizations that support recycling and sustainability in Illinois, which USAgain said encourages environmental stewardship at all levels. “Recycling is a foundational component to quality of life and we know that a strong system can contribute to a healthier, more united community,” Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said.

Michigan Avenue, and those that do arise are handled quickly.” He added that Chicago can’t afford people to feel unsafe on Michigan Avenue, and Joliet can’t afford to have people feel unsafe in the City Center. “Our new patrol officers will also be closely monitoring the area near the train station,” O’Dekirk

said. “Union Station is the gateway for many people coming to the city or passing through, and it has become an area of congregation for people with obvious mental imbalances and substance abuse problems. We will be getting those folks the help they need in the appropriate facilities, which does not include a public train station.”

Budget questions keeping college students grounded Continued from page 1 Thousands of Illinois students rely on MAP, which provides grants that do not need to be repaid to Illinois residents who attend approved Illinois colleges and demonstrate financial need. At Joliet Junior College alone, almost 1,000 students would lose highereducation funding without MAP. “The state funding problem should not be on the shoulders of students who are striving to receive an education,” JJC President Debra Daniels told legislators. “The state is putting at-risk our most at-risk population. The students who attend community colleges are more likely to stay locally to work and live. These students are the ones the state of Illinois looks to bridge the education divide and the skills gap. If these students have to drop out of college because they did not get their MAP funds, Illinois will drift further behind other states in attracting businesses and economic growth with a skilled and educated

JJC President Debra Daniels

state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill workforce.” According to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the MAP uses a formula to distribute the appropriated funds the students with the most need. ISAC is operating on the assumption that the appropriation level would be the same as 2014-15. However, funding for the MAP has not yet been finalized by the Illinois

General Assembly and governor. As a result, the program’s funding level is unknown. Last year, the state provided $364.8 million in MAP grants. The average student with a MAP grant received approximately $2,700 to help pay for tuition. “Time’s a’wastin’ - first semester already has started,” McGuire said in a statement released Sept. 24. “Gov. Rauner, get on board. Support MAP and higher education funding so Illinois high school graduates and returning adults can earn the knowledge and skills needed in today’s economy to make our state strong again.” In terms of student financial support and access to education, Daniels said JJC’s largest demographic impact relates to MAP funding. Based on financial aid records, the school has 945 students with $536,376, in MAP funds applied to their fall accounts. Because of the budget impasse, JJC applied MAP funds to students’ accounts as pending financial aid, while the college awaits MAP payments from the state. With the state budget yet to be finalized, JJC is exploring other payment options for its MAP recipients. Those options include

allowing students to use Direct Student Loan proceeds and excess Pell Grant monies, which will be released in early November, to cover the balance created by the removal of MAP funds. “Students should not be hurt financially by the state’s budget impasse, and this is why I have voted for a student aid budget that funds MAP grants for the current year,” Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, said in a press release. Daniels reiterated that the state’s fiscal crisis is creating a domino effect on higher education, impacting schools on many levels. “In some cases, it impacts our ability to offer specific coursework or additional course sections, which then alters our ability to produce skilled transfer students and/or workers to support our local economies and communities,” she said. “It impacts access to education

for many of our students who depend on this critical financial support to even walk through our classroom doors.” Additionally, the state’s funding continues to shrink in all areas. Daniels noted that since fiscal year 2000, the state’s share of the college’s operating budget has decreased from 18.7 percent to a projected 10 percent in fiscal year 2016. “There are tough decisions ahead for all of us,” she added. “Our community continually expresses remarkable support and resolve in the wake of fiscal challenges, but we have reduced everything we have in our control to reduce. Any reductions we need to make now will directly impact our employees and our students.” Additional hearings will be hosted in the coming weeks throughout the state at the Chicago City Colleges, John E. Logan Community College and Eastern Illinois University.

Schools > Troy School District

Superintendent Koehl plays key role in state’s new education plan Standardized test scores will account for only 30 percent of ‘No Child’ requirements Troy School District 30-C Superintendent Todd Koehl was a leading figure in the development of a new statewide education policy approved in Springfield this summer. The policy was passed by legislators and is designed to address the current one-size-fitsall school and student assessments required by the “No Child Left Behind” act. The Illinois Balanced Accountability Model, IBAM, is now Public Act 99-193 and allows public schools to present not only

Superintendent Todd Koehl student test scores to qualify for federal funding, but also the various programs schools use to improve student performance. With IBAM, student scores on state standardized tests will account for only 30 percent of No Child Left Behind requirements,

rather than 100 percent. School practices, such as best practices in finance, instructional practices and continuous improvement of other components of education, such as connections with family and community, shared leadership, governance and success in overcoming specific barriers to individual school improvement will comprise 70 percent. Koehl, who worked with other Illinois school and district superintendents, principals, school business officials and school board members for close to two years to develop balanced accountability, said the most important goal was to provide a full picture of success. “This accountability model

considers all of the factors that make a school successful,” Koehl said. “Student achievement represents only one slice of the evaluation. Organizational practice and specific local initiatives make a significant percentage of the overall score.” He explains that, “In essence, this model recognizes that good practice and attention to local characteristics contribute to the success of a school and its students. Our team represented a cross section of the state, and each member contributed strongly to this final product. Being a part of developing this model was an honor for me and a high point in my professional experience.”

JTHS students recognized for high-ranked ACT scores Students scoring 30 or higher places them at or above top 5 percent in nation Thirty-one students from the class of 2016 were recognized as ACT Pacesetters at Joliet Township High School’s September board of education meeting. As pacesetters, the students earned a composite score of 30 or higher on the ACT during the 2014-2015 school year. “ACT is a high-stakes, national test and a high score has a great impact on a student’s college

admission options and access to scholarships,” said Joliet Central High School Principal Shad Hallihan. “Students scoring 30 or higher places them at or above the top 5 percent in the nation based on data from the past three years.” Pacesetters from Joliet Central are James Budrick-Diaz, Alexis Granados, Alex Kulak, Henry Linehan, Dominic Micheletto,

District 86 offers free developmental screenings for children Joliet Public Schools District 86 offers screenings free of charge to Joliet residents with children living in District 86 boundaries. The screenings are designed to assess development in children ages birth to five years old, and measure a child’s development in vision and hearing, speech and/or language, motor skills, cognitive skills, and social skills. In addition, District 86 offers early childhood screenings designed to identify 3- to 5-yearold children who may qualify for the district’s at-risk preschool program. Children must be three years on or before a screening date.

More Info Children must be three years on or before a screening date. Proof of residency will be required at the time of the screening. To schedule an appointment, call the J.F. Kennedy Administrative Center at 815.740.3196 ext. 243.

IBAM will continue to take shape this year and will begin a five-year phase-in period with the 20162017 school year. IBAM is a part of the Vision 20/20 state bill, which celebrated another legislative victory earlier this summer when its measure to streamline the licensure process for teachers and administrators was approved. This measure was designed to make it easier for Illinois schools to hire teachers and administrators from out of state.

Homecoming

Dominance Hilltoppers use huge second half to roll past Marian Catholic

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

While Joliet Catholic Academy gave its home fans a happy homecoming with a 41-3 win over previously undefeated Marian Catholic, the win spoiled the homecoming for one former Hilltopper. Mike Maloney, a former player and then coach for JCA is now the head coach for the Hurricane team that upset defending state champion Nazareth a week ago. “He played in it on both sides of the ball and he coached here,” said JCA coach Dan Sharp. “But it is one thing when he is out there, it’s another when it’s the players are on the field. Every yard was well earned by our guys. Mike Maloney’s defense played hard.” After a scoreless first quarter, Marian got things started 90 seconds into the second quarter, connecting on a 28-yard field goal. Joliet Catholic would answer back inside the final two minutes of the half when Michael Johnson ran for his first of three rushing scores, giving JCA a 7-3 advantage heading into the intermission. “Coach told us at halftime to talk with our shoulder pads,” Johnson. “We made a few adjustments and we came out better.” When the second half opened, JCA seemed like a team possessed. “We are a physical team this year and that is what we will do,” Sharp said. “Things may be close at half,

but we will wear you down at half.” The Hilltoppers took the secondhalf kickoff and put together a drive that resulted in a 10-yard scoring run from Johnson with 8 minutes, 22 seconds remaining in the quarter. Eleven seconds later, on Marian’s first snap of the possession, Bill Rotnicki intercepted a pass and returned it 38 yards for a score, deflating the Hurricanes. “The pick six knocked the wind out of their sails,” Sharp said. “Even when we scored, they still played us tough defensively the whole way down, but when that happened.” Rotnicki said he was prepared for the pass after watching film. “It was the best feeling in the world,” he said. “Watching film, they key on No. 4 the past couple games and they were keying on him the whole first half, so I saw the quarterback’s eyes on him and jumped in front of it and then I had a big wall of brown in front of me.” The defense has only allowed three points combined in the last two games against East Suburban Catholic Conference opponents this season. “We have turned it around,” Rotnicki said. “JCA has always been known as a running and offensive team, but Jaws (Jake Jaworski), our defensive coordinator, has done a great job and we are prepared for every game and we are always in the right spots. We are never surprised by anything.”

McNair, Steelmen improving despite record By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

While wins are still not coming for the Joliet Central football team, progress is. And while the team is getting better, it is doing so with a group of young players that will be on the roster next season when the Steelmen make the move to the more balanced Southwest Prairie Conference. One of those players is junior wide receiver/defensive back Jomarre McNair.

dominance | from page 9 That defensive would hold Marian’s Emitt Peisert to 50 yards on the game after he torched Nazareth for more than 300 yards last week. While the defense held strong, the JCA offense kept going. Johnson would then add a 3-yard TD plunge and grab a 33-yard strike from Cade Earl to end the night for the starters. On the game, Johnson would tally 216 yards on 32 carries, and three TDs, while catching two passes for 41 yards and a score.

“I have worked all summer and all winter for this,” Johnson said. “I didn’t play basketball because this was my dream to play football, so I got in the gym at Rudy’s with my teammates and we trained for this. We trained for fourth quarter of games against hard opponents. This was a pretty good team in early. Coaches told us they would come in here with a chip on their shoulder, but that didn’t faze us, we wanted to add a one in the (loss) column where there was a zero. We just played Hillmen football.”

As a receiver, he hauled in seven passes for 64 yards and a touchdown and helped the defense limit Joliet West’s offense to 14 points as the Tigers narrowly escaped Central, 21-12 Saturday. “He is a do-it-all kind of guy. It is nice to have him on our side,” said Joliet Central coach Brett Boyter. While McNair’s stats may come on offense, he sees himself as a defender first. “I like defense better,” he said. “You get to hit somebody.” Wherever he is on the field, though, McNair enjoys helping

the team. “I have a lot of fun,” he said. “I get to make tackles and catch the ball and score touchdowns. I take a lot of pride in it.” Something else McNair takes pride in is his work ethic, which this season is shown on the player’s helmets. All Steelmen are issued a plain blue helmet and must earn their helmet decals through offseason work. McNair said he is proud that he displays a full set of decals on his

The back nine starts with the most famous and copied replica hole of all, the island green at TPC Sawgrass, the 17th hole. This is a short hole at 132 yards from replica yardage, but always poses a threat for the pros, especially on windy days. It was no problem for me though as I made a routine par. Many courses have since copied the island green layout, but none as perfect as here, with the same wall around the green that is found at Sawgrass. My favorite hole in the world is the next hole, and that is a replica of the 13th hole at Augusta National. It plays at 510 yards at replica yardage, but just a 465-yard par-5 from the blue tees.

It plays 426 yards from the replica yardage, the blue tees. A string of regular holes follow, leading up to the final hole, the par-4 18th. It is Bay Hill’s 18th hole, a 441yard hole from the blue tees, with water to the right of the green from about 100 yards and in. The elevation changes at the green are also difficult. Some people may be skeptical about the realness of the replica holes, but I can assure you they have a realistic feel to them, all the way to the green features. I would imagine the green speeds aren’t as fast as they keep them professionally, but they are still pretty quick throughout the course. The course was in good shape, especially for September and with all the recent rain. The course is quite a challenge as well, playing from 7,207 yards from the black tees, 6,754 from the blue and 6,407 from the white. It is a fun course and a stop you should make if you are around the Wisconsin Dells area, or even if you are just looking to get away on a golf trip for a couple days.

young Porters learning on the job By sCott taylor sPorts eDitor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

New Lockport coach Nick Mraz walked in to a tough situation. With just three seniors on the roster, the Porters are going through a stretch where they are learning to play with one another. “We have a freshman and three sophomores up right now, so we are very young,” Mraz said. “The juniors now were freshmen my first year of coaching.” Despite the general inexperience, Mraz has high expectations for the team this year. “I set the bar high with high expectations,” Mraz said. “I don’t come into tournaments just hoping to do well. I want to win. I want to win early and win often. It isn’t, let’s go win more games than last year. It is we want to win a regional and sectional and set the bar high. Fun comes from winning. I’m not going to say let’s just try our best. That’s not who I am.” However, the Porters have started off the season 3-9 with the newlook lineup. Lockport won a pair of games last week, beating Thornton 25-7, 25-10. Lockport was led by Bella Cosentino 10 assists and four aces, while Serene Jones posted four kills. The Porters also defeated Thornridge 25-5, 25-4 behind three kills and 10 aces from Melanie Plotke and five aces and two kills from JoDee Kovanda. “We have to build the confidence,” Mraz said. “Right now, nobody thinks we’re going to win. So, we have to win and the girls have to buy into that themselves and that is going to build confidence. It will

McNair | froM page 11 helmet. “We have to work hard,” he said. “It is great to see how many of the younger kids have the decals and how it shows how hard we work in practice to get better.” While the seniors have undoubtedly helped Central reach the point where they are competitive in games this season, it is the core of underclassmen that will carry that to the next level. “We come out and competed and help this team get better and better every year,” McNair said.

take time.” Once the girls get accustomed to playing together and start winning, Lockport could take off. “Reps and time together will be the keys,” Mraz said. “We have four different age groups playing together. A lot of them have never played together as a unit. That is tough. We have to get that chemistry. We hope that happens sooner rather than later.” The schedule has done no favors for the Porters right now, as they have played in the difficult Plainfield North Invite, as well as facing state power Mother McAuley. Mraz though is ok with taking their lumps now for the experiences of playing against the best the state has to offer. “That’s why the schedule is stacked with all these teams and tournaments,” Mraz said. “Seeing all these teams now will help them come the playoffs.” A pair of sophomores are expected to lead the way this year as Julia Elsouso led the team in kills as a freshman and JoDee Kovanda is a setter that will play all the way around. Serene Jones is a junior outside who the team will rely on quite a lot as well. On the back end, the Porters have to replace a mainstay at libero in Lindsey Visvardis, who is now playing at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. “We lost Visvardis, who is very hard to replace,” Mraz said. “But we have a senior in Cassie Schremser who will try to fill those shoes. She has done a good job so far this year.” While being a first-year head coach with the girls, Mraz has experience with the school and program. He has spent the past two years as the freshman coach for the

girls and head varsity coach for the boys. There are differences between the genders, but Mraz is looking to combine the two styles together. “The difference between guys and girls is that girls is about defense and boys is about hitting and power,” Mraz said. “I’m trying to blend the two. I want to work on being a quicker, more powerful offense. I don’t think there needs to be a distinction between the two.” •Minooka moved to 11-5 and 5-0 in the Southwest Prairie Conference with a 25-14, 25-21 win over Oswego East. Ginger Perinar posted seven kills and three blocks, while Alli Papesh had four kills, two aces and four blocks, Emily Hise had four kills and four blocks and Holly Bonde had four kills and three blocks. Brooklyn Bachmann added 16 assists.

“We are young this year, but we are fighting for a lot. We should win some games next year. I want to go to the playoffs next year. We have to just keep fighting and working hard in practice.” While McNair will be back, so will his quarterback Zach Wisneski. The sophomore was 22 of 39 for 172 yards in the loss to West, already good for a sophomore, but McNair said his quarterback will get even better. “He is smart enough now and next year he will know even more that he does now,” McNair said. “He is going to be really good next

year.” The Tigers also played with a young signal caller, as freshman Jaxson Aubrey filled in for Alex Tibble who suffered a concussion last week. Aubry was 3 of 13 for 53 yards. The bulk of his yards came on one play, as he found fellow freshman Kevon Dorris for 46 yards. Jakob Coyl had 120 yards on 21 totes and two scores, while Meekah Ben-Israel sealed the game with an interception return for a score. “The scoreboard might look the same, but we are getting better,” Boyter said.

Boys golf Lockport defeated Stagg 173-184 at Big Run Golf Course on the back nine. Medalist was Trevor Gorz who shot a 41. John Parker shot 43, Noah Speechley shot 44 and Reid Rimsnider shot 45 to edge out Andrew Crowe and Alex Middleton who also shot 45 for the final carded spot on a scorecard playoff. Lockport evened its record in dual meets to 6-6 with the win. The Porters lost 173-174 to Rolling Meadows on senior night at Big Run Golf Course. Medalist honors went to Gorz with a 42. Andrew Crowe and Jimmy Sexton both shot 43 and Reid Rimsnider shot 46 to round out the scoring for the Porters. Lockport honored seniors Crowe, Trevor Gorz, Ryan Gorz, Sexton, Lofurno, Massimo Onesto, Jimmy Tomaszewski and Rimsnider.
